The Constitution is the heart of our government. It defines powers, recognizes rights, and provides the people with security and stability. We, however, have lost touch with our Constitution. It might be tempting to blame the Supreme Court for chipping away at the document, but in the end, the fault is ours. Until we learn to enforce the Constitution, we will not enjoy good government. Come, and bring your friends, to the Xenia Community Center at 1219 W. Second Street in Xenia, Ohio, for this important July 28, 6:30 PM, public meeting of the Greene County TEA Party!
